Trump Admin Sanctions ICC President for Alleged 'Abuses of Power' Amid US War Crimes Probe

The Trump administration has sanctioned the sitting president of the International Criminal Court for 'abuses of power', escalating its campaign to dismantle a body that has investigated alleged US war crimes in Afghanistan and other conflicts. The sanctions come amid growing tensions between the US and the ICC over its investigations into US actions in the Middle East and elsewhere. The move is seen as part of the Trump administration's efforts to undermine the ICC and limit its ability to investigate US-led military operations. The ICC has already faced opposition from the US and some other countries over its investigation into alleged war crimes committed by US forces in Afghanistan.
